Meghan Markle's new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, launched in March, has faced a rough start. Despite initial enthusiasm and high expectations, the brand's debut product, strawberry jam, received widespread criticism for being overpriced and underwhelming, leaving Meghan reportedly in tears and frustrated over the negative feedback. Culinary veteran Martha Stewart has also expressed irritation over comparisons to Meghan, calling them 'insulting'. Additionally, the brand has faced copyright issues ahead of its full launch. Despite these setbacks, Meghan remains optimistic and is preparing for an extensive PR campaign to boost the brand's image. The Duchess hopes to overcome early criticisms and realize the success she envisioned for her venture.
